Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Syntopic reading

I'm preparing for a major assignment I have to do next week Friday, and I have to read through roughly 20+ journal articles. Does anyone know of a good way to syntopically read them? Should I break them up into 3-4 syntopic reads??

Pile them up with a strong purpose PhotoRead the lot. The instructions for syntopic reading are detailed in chapter 11 of the book. If you plan to use syntopic reading that's the way to go.

Just thought I'd let you know: I got an A on the presentation (which was my final exam). Due to some (silly internal) issues I had, I didn't syntopically read them. The reasons for them are quite stupid actually

I just did the 'traditional' photoreading method by activating each one at a time.

In hindsight, I realize I could've saved a lot more time by syntopically reading them with a strong purpose. But I'm glad that photoreading helped me get the work I needed to do in the time that was given to me.

I also realize that the entire photoreading process requires some level of skill that I need to work on. For one thing, I wasn't always a good note-taker, but now that I'm learning to activate much better, my efficiency is increasing each time I go back to activating.

I'm really beginning to enjoy the process more.

Excellent. Mind mapping will is good for someone who isn't a great note taker. It forces you to think

Yes, I think you could have saved time. It's all a learning experience though. Experience is your best gauge to tell you how to do it better next time.
